tu prem mandir ki pak dewi tu husn ki mamlikat ki rani
hayat-e-insan ki qismaton par teri nigahon ki hukmarani

jahan-e-ulfat teri qalam-rau harim-e-dil teri rajdhani
bahaar-e-fitrat tere lab-e-lal-gun ki doshiza muskurahat

nizam-e-kaunain teri aankhon ke surkh doron ki thartharahat
farogh-e-sad-kaenat teri jabin simin ki zau-fishani

bhadakte sinon mein bas rahi hain qarar ban kar teri adaen
tarasti ruhon ko jam-e-ishrat pila rahi hain teri wafaen

rag-e-jahan mein thirak rahi hai sharab ban kar teri jawani
dimagh-e-parwar-digar mein jo azal ke din se machal raha tha

zaban-e-takhliq-e-dahr se bhi na jis ka izhaar ho saka tha
numud teri usi muqaddas hasin takhayyul ki tarjumani

hai wadi-e-nil par tera abr-e-zulf saya-kunan abhi tak
hain jam-e-iran ki mai mein tere labon ki shiriniyan abhi tak

fasana-go hai teri abhi tak hadis-e-yunan ki khun-chakani'
hai teri ulfat ke rag par mauj-e-rud-e-ganga ko wajd ab tak

teri mohabbat ki aag mein jal raha hai sahra-e-najd ab tak
jamal-e-zahra tere malaek fareb jalwon ki ek nishani

teri nigahon ke sahar se gul-fishan hai sher o adab ki duniya
tere tabassum ke kaif se hai ye gham ki duniya tarab ki duniya

tere labon ki mithas se shakkarin hai zahrab-e-zindagani
tera tabassum kali kali mein tera tarannum chaman chaman mein

rumuz-e-hasti ke pech-o-kham tere gesuon ki shikan shikan mein
kitab-e-tarikh-e-zindagi ke waraq waraq par teri kahani

jo tu na hoti to yun darakhshanda sham-e-bazm-e-jahan na hoti
wajud-e-arz-o-sama na hota numud-e-kaun-o-makan na hoti

bashar ki mahdudiyat ki khatir tarasti aalam ki be-karani
